weekend catchup

Oh
hey, how was your weekend? It was a pleasant couple days celebrating an exciting time for a close friend, community cookout, sushi, good fall runs. Logan left yesterday afternoon for New Zealand. We
drove to JFK, said goodbye until Halloween, and that's it. He's still
on the plane but they should arrive around 7 or 8 this evening (which is Tuesday morning around 9 in Auckland).

Rather than heading home to a lonely house, I stayed in the city to catch up with Courtney,
an old nursing friend who works in Washington Heights for New York
Presbyterian Hospital. We headed downtown to Shake Shack in Madison
Square Garden. For the first time, New York City was pretty magical to
me. During the day, it is all business, busy and full of people. But
last night, it was more calm, all lit up, plus those cheeseburgers and
apple pie ice cream were unbelievable. It felt different.

I survived driving through New York City. I feel
good about that.

Well, happy Monday. I planned
a pretty full week since Logan is gone. My brother, sister-in-law, nephew
and niece are coming on Wednesday. I'm so excited.
